ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to novel solid forms of compound (I),

[(1S)-1-[(2S,4R,5R)-5-(5-amino-2-oxo-thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-3-yl)-4-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]propyl] acetate and pharmaceutical compositions comprising solid forms thereof disclosed herein, which may be used as a TLR7 agonist, or for the treatment or prophylaxis of a viral disease in a patient relating to HBV infection or a disease caused by HBV infection.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The current therapy of chronic HBV infection is based on two different types of drugs: the traditional antiviral nucleoside/nucleotide analogues and the more recent Pegylated IFN-α (PEG-IFN-α). The oral nucleoside/nucleotide analogues act by suppressing the HBV replication. This is a life-long course of treatment during which drug resistance often occurs. As an alternative option, Pegylated IFN-α (PEG-IFN-α) has been used to treat some chronic infected HBV patients within finite therapy duration. Although it has achieved seroconversion in HBeAg at least in a small percentage of HBV patients, the adverse effect makes it poorly tolerable. Notably, functional cure defined as HBsAg seroconversion is very rare with both current therapies. A new generation therapeutic option to treat HBV patients for a functional cure is therefore of urgent need. Treatment with an oral TLR7 agonist represents a promising solution to provide greater efficacy with better tolerability. Pegylated IFN-α (PEG-IFN-α) is currently used to treat chronic HBV and is an alternative to potentially life-long treatment with antiviral nucleoside/nucleotide analogues. In a subset of chronic HBV patients, PEG-IFN-α therapy can induce sustained immunologic control of the virus following a finite duration of therapy. However, the percentage of HBV patients that achieve seroconversion with interferon therapy is low (up to 27% for HBeAg-positive patients) and the treatment is typically poorly tolerated. Furthermore, functional cure (defined as HBsAg loss and seroconversion) is also very infrequent with both PEG-IFN-α and nucleoside/nucleotide treatment. Given these limitations, there is an urgent need for improved therapeutic options to treat and induce a functional cure for chronic HBV. Treatment with an oral, small-molecule TLR7 agonist is a promising approach that has the potential to provide greater efficacy and tolerability.

[(1S)-1-[(2S,4R,5R)-5-(5-amino-2-oxo-thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-3-yl)-4-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]propyl] acetate (compound (I)) was disclosed in WO2016091698 as an effective TLR7 agonist.

It was found that Form Amorphous of compound (I) was prone to crystallization which leads to form change and makes it not suitable for further drug development. As one of the objectives of this patent, several novel solid forms were identified and characterized, showing significantly improved stability compared with Form Amorphous of compound (I). Meanwhile, developing novel crystalline forms of compound (I) with good processability or acceptable aqueous solubility is also one of the objectives of current invention. Some novel solid forms enhanced the developability of compound (I) fundamentally.

The present disclosure relates generally to the novel solid forms of compound (I) and processes to make them.

In another embodiment, Form C of compound (I) shows significantly improved stability and comparable apparent solubility compared with Form Amorphous of compound (I) and/or other solid forms. The physical stability of drug substances is an integral part of the systematic approach to the stability evaluation of pharmaceuticals due to its potential impacts on drug chemical stability performance and safety. The greater the stability is, the longer the shelf life could be. Therefore the accelerated and long term stability testing used in this invention could be used to predict shelf lives. Furthermore, solubility is one of the important parameters to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for desired pharmacological response. Generally speaking, amorphous pharmaceuticals are markedly more soluble than their crystalline counterparts. Surprisingly, Form C of compound (I) shows comparable apparent solubility compared with Form Amorphous of compound (I) and ensures the in vivo absorption. The unexpected property improvement of Form C makes it more suitable for further drug development.

In another embodiment, Form D of compound (I) is an ethyl acetate solvate.

In another embodiment, Form E of compound (I) is a process related form which exhibits excellent impurity purification effect.

The bioavailability of many drugs can be dependent on polymorphs that show different solubility and absorption rate. Moreover, in vivo conversion of the prodrug to active form was confirmed to be polymorph-dependent. Compound (I) is a double prodrug, the conversion from double prodrug to single prodrug and active form can be dependent on the solid forms of this invention. The SDPK study was performed on Form A and C to demonstrate such effect. As the result, Form A of compound (I) exhibits faster conversion rate (shorter T_(max) and higher C_(max)) to the single prodrug and high C_(max) of active form in vivo study, and therefore Form A of compound (I) is more preferred with immediate-release oral formulation.

In another embodiment, Form B of compound (I) is more preferred with oral suspension formulation. Conversion of Form Amorphous of compound (I) or Form A of compound (I) to Form B of compound (I) in aqueous compositions was observed. Therefore, Form B of compound (I) shows better stability in aqueous environment.

In another embodiment, Form G of compound (I) shows improved stability and comparable apparent solubility compared with Form Amorphous of compound (I). With regard to general solid formulation development, the melting point of a synthetic substance should not be below 80° C. (Stefan Balbach, 2004, Pharmaceutical evaluation of early development candidates “the 100 mg-approach”, International Journal of Pharmaceutics 275 (2004) 1-12). Form C, F and G of compound (I) with the onset melting point at 128.9° C., 141.2° C. and 122.0° C. respectively are therefore much more preferred with respect to solid formulation development compared to the other forms of this invention.

NaCl aq. solution (21.7 kg). Such extraction was repeated twice. The combined organic solution was concentrated under vacuum to remove the volatile to afford a crude solution (13.04 kg), to which isopropyl acetate (6.05 kg) was then added. The reaction mixture was then heated to 40° C. to 50° C. and stirred for 1 hour, followed by slow addition of n-heptane (8.05 kg). The resulting mixture was stirred at 40° C. to 50° C. for another 12 hours. After slow cooling to 0° C. to 10° C. over 4 hours and stirred at 0° C. to 10° C. for 30 minutes, n-heptane (10.1 kg) was added and the resulting mixture was maintained at 0° C. to 10° C. for 2 hours. The suspension was separated by vacuum filtration and the wet cake was washed with n-heptane (6 kg) and dried in a vacuum oven (30 mmHg, 45° C.) for 19 hours.

The XRPD pattern of Form E of compound (I) is shown in FIG. 2. Major peaks and their related intensities in the XRPD pattern are shown in Table 2. Depending on the solvation status Form E can be a solvate (isostructural with different solvents) or a polymorph of compound (I).

Example 19

Single Dose PK (SDPK) Study

Five male Wistar Han rats were administered a single oral dose of 100 or 200 mg/kg of compound (I) (either Form A or Form C). Drug was administered as a suspension in 2% klucel, 0.1% polysorbate 80 and 0.1% parabens in water. Samples were taken at various times up to 24 h and plasma was analysed for compound (I) (double prodrug), compound (Ia) (single prodrug) and compound (Ib) (single prodrug) and compound (III) (active Form).

compound (Ia) (single prodrug); compound (Ib) (single prodrug); compound (III) (active form)

TABLE 17 SDPK study of Form A and Form C of compound (I) in Wistar Han Rat (n = 5) Compound Compound Compound Compound Parameter (I) (Ia) (Ib) (III) PO 100 mg/kg of Example 10, Form A of compound (I) T_(max) (h) 1.5 0.5 0.25 0.5 C_(max) (ng/mL) 563 24767 231 7103 PO 200 mg/kg of Example 4, Form C of compound (I) T_(max) (h) 0.33 0.67 0.42 0.5 C_(max) (ng/mL) 259 23233 258 5900

Compared with Form C of compound (I) dosing at 200 mg/kg, Form A of compound (I) dosing at 100 mg/kg exhibits faster conversion rate with shorter T_(max) and higher C_(max) for single prodrug (Ia) (0.5 h vs 0.67 h; 24767 ng/mL vs 23233 ng/mL), and higher C_(max) of active form (7103 ng/mL vs 5900 ng/mL) in vivo study. Surprisingly Form A shows comparable or better SDPK profile than Form C even at half dose of the later, therefore Form A of compound (I) whose efficacy is driven by C_(max) is more suitable to be formulated as immediate-release oral formulation.
